"A woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up" behind him and touched the fringe of his garment. She was instantly cured. (Matthew ch.9 vs.20)

The symbolism of the painting is the large circle which surrounds Aleph, the Hebrew Letter, and Jesus who said "The Father and I are One". Aleph is the first Letter and has a numerical value of one, a symbol for God. (To read more, go to Aleph on this site, in the section for the Hebrew Letters.) The words written in Hebrew say "Help me."
